| DO
NOT MISS THE POINT: NationalChamps.net
is proud to once again present the
annual Early Bird College Football
Breakdown (11th season). For those
of you concerned with the rankings
and the fact this #16 team is better
than that #9 team, then YOU ARE MISSING
THE POINT! Our presentation was created
as nothing more than a rough guide
for listing whether key players return
or depart as evident in our depth
chart formatting. So many of the selections
are evidently interchangeable and
will adjust continuously until next
season arrives.
So
sit back, unbutton those tight pants
from your holiday dinners and leftovers,
and take this preview for what it's
worth. We think you will gain much
more by realizing that the rankings
and their explicit accuracy are not
the primary goal. This is not about
predicting where these teams will
finish by season's end, a flaw in
logic many assume - it is about where
each deserves to be ranked as the
season starts.
However, in the 11th season of compiling
this Early Bird Preview, NationalChamps.net
has eerily predicted a very close
result to what the official preseason
polls will show come August. Returning
starters and key losses are not hard
to figure out. Unpredictable at this
point, though, is just how early NFL
departures and bowl game results tend
to change these rankings more than
any other aspect. We rank what we
know and take the rest in stride.
